Hamlet 2

If you like irreverent, not-so-subtle, loser-centric comedies, you will probably like this. If you liked Napoleon Dynamite this movie may take your forgotten teen-aged angst to a whole new level. And if you like South Park this story will probably make you smile a bit too.

Yes there us music but I bet you'll find yourself humming at least one of the two featured numbers. I can't stop.

Steve Coogan's character is so bad he makes anyone feel better about themselves. So, if you are feeling a little low, please watch this movie. I guarantee you will see a few more good things about yourself unless you are a volunteer high school drama teacher in Tucson, Arizona.

The rest of the cast is pretty much stock, but is well-played just the same.

I don't remember how many different groups or stereotypes are mocked, but plan on being offended by something. You may be tempted to stop watching or give up early. Don't.

Watch it with someone who will stay to the end and enjoy enjoy the payoff.
